People Who Benefit From Casteism Aren't Bramhins 90 Percent Of The Time, It Is The Vaishyas, I.e Shopkeepers

There's a fine line between empathizing for innocent humans who become collateral damage on any side of the border and supporting Pakistan over your own country, valuing the human life loss across the border while ignoring our own countrymen dying, expecting the Indian army to stay quite as Pakistan blatantly attacks civilians in India. Don't cross that line.

Can people please talk about the absolutely disgusting thing that got uncovered in Tirumala?

Honestly I don't engage with many politics or news posts, as they can often end up in conflict- but this absolutely disgusts and saddens me to no end.

There are so many things on so many levels that hurt me about this- and I'll be talking about it in this post.

If you do not like this post, or disagree with my opinions, please do not engage with this post.

QUICK RECAP, FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW OR NEED A REFRESHER:

Recently, it was uncovered through lab reports that there were animal products (such as beef, pork and fish) in the prasad (food given as offerings to the deity in the temple, in this case, Lord Venkateswara, and then given to the devotees) of the Tirumala temple, more specifically, in the Laddos.

The following is my view on this is my opinion on this whole incident, from what I know about it.

Again, if you do not like or disagree with the contents, please do not interact.

First of all, the fact that this went under the noses of so many people, so easily, is a complete dissapointment.

Hundreds, if not thousands of devotees visit the massive temple complex every day- and consume the prasad- hell, this doesn't even include the people who get the prasad as a gift from people who visited Tirumala.

Not even counting faith- this was so wrong on multiple other levels- including health. This was obviously a massive food safety violation.

Fine. Let's say that this alarmingly large issue went unnoticed accidently. But that still doesn't justify the responses of the people in charge.

And then going into that temple and saying that 'if we did this wrong then the lord will take care of us' is absolutely shameful.

Pushing all the wrongs onto god's name, just so that no-one will question them, instead of acknowledging a huge, huge wrong is just absolutely so so disappointing and shameful.

I am just immensely, immensely disappointed by this chain of events- and all I can say is that I'm absolutely ashamed of it all.

This whole incident speaks a lot about these 'organisations' and their actions- and just breaks my trust in them even more.

I was scared to post about this incident- but after a point, I simply could not take it. Tirumala is a place very, very close to my heart and honestly I considered it a safe haven- but now this incident has shaken me up. Tirumala will never lose its divinity- but this just makes me so much more reluctant to go there- not because I don't like Tirumala, or that I think of it as different- but because of my distrust at the organisation handling matters regarding it.

I'll probably add on more to this post soon, but for now, this is it.

Look at the hypocrisy India did not purposefully target civilians and all the intellectuals on tumblr were hating on India. Here Pakistan is clearly going after civilians and you all are silent on this? Fucking Hypocrites

THAT WAS SUCH AN INSANE SHOT, WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THAT?!

'Sphynxe' by Joseph Urban, 1903.

During the Press Briefing on Operation SINDOOR on 07 May 2025, India had called its response as focused, measured and non-escalatory. It was specifically mentioned that Pakistani military establishments had not been targeted. It was also reiterated that any attack on military targets in India will invite a suitable response.

On the night of 07-08 May 2025, Pakistan attempted to engage a number of military targets in Northern and Western India including Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Adampur, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai, and Bhuj, using drones and missiles. These were neutralised by the Integrated Counter UAS Grid and Air Defence systems. The debris of these attacks is now being recovered from a number of locations that prove the Pakistani attacks.

Today morning Indian Armed Forces targeted Air Defence Radars and systems at a number of locations in Pakistan. Indian response has been in the same domain with same intensity as Pakistan. It has been reliably learnt that an Air Defence system at Lahore has been neutralised.

Pakistan has increased the intensity of its unprovoked firing across the Line of Control using Mortars and heavy calibre Artillery in areas in Kupwara, Baramulla, Uri, Poonch, Mendhar and Rajouri sectors in Jammu and Kashmir.

Sixteen innocent lives have been lost, including three women and five children, due to Pakistani firing. Here too, India was compelled to respond to bring Mortar and Artillery fire from Pakistan to a halt.

Indian Armed Forces reiterate their commitment to non-escalation, provided it is respected by the Pakistani military.

We were supposed to be mourning our 1D boys in our 80s. Not now. I’m speechless.

I found it funny (but actually it's sad)

I actually find it interesting. It's funny to see how our art influences other people's perceptions, don't you think?
